Lloyd Pest Control Acquires Bear Creek Pest Control

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Lloyd Pest Control, based in San Diego, Calif, acquired the customer base of Southern California’s Bear Creek Pest Control on April 1, 2008. Bear Creek Pest Control was founded in 1997 by Bob and Mary Woolsey. The couple met while working at Lloyd Pest Control, where they were both employed for nearly two decades.

After the passing of Bob, and the subsequent erosion of the housing market, Mary was left to make some tough decisions.

“In some ways this feels like a homecoming,” said Mary. “Lloyd Pest Control was always very good to Bob and me.”

“We loved having Bob and Mary as colleagues, and we respected them as competitors,” said Jamie Ogle, President of Lloyd Pest Control. “For years we grew together, and we share the same dedication to customer service.”

Lloyd Pest Control is a family-owned business, founded in 1931. In recent years the company has been awarded the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics. The latest Pest Control Technology magazine survey lists Lloyd Pest Control as the 28th largest exterminator in the U.S.
